Hordes of bloodthirsty
wolves are slaughtering the arctic caribou, and the government's
Wildlife Service assigns naturalist Farley Mowat to investigate. Mowat
is dropped alone onto the frozen tundra, where he begins his mission to
live among the howling wolf packs and study their ways. Contact with his
quarry comes quickly, and Mowat discovers not a den of marauding
killers but a courageous family of skillful providers and devoted
protectors of their young. As Mowat comes closer to the wolf world, he
comes to fear with them the onslaught of bounty hunters and government
exterminators out to erase the noble wolf community from the Arctic. Never Cry World is one of the brilliant narratives on the myth
and magic of wild wolves and man's true place among the creatures of
nature. From Goodreads.
I enjoyed this story about Mowat's first meeting with wolves. It is a fun story and at the same time highlighting humans fear of this brilliant animal. It says it is a true story but a lot of other reviews are questioning this. To me it is not that important whether it is a true story or loosely based on Mowat's experiences and mostly fiction. Whichever it is, it is a fascinating story about wolves.
